Crazy that you can get real tacos less than a stone's throw away from Highland Park/SMU! After eyeing this place for years finally came out, patio/take out only due to COVID couldn't stop me from coming out.
It's a cute counter setup on the inside with tacos, quesadillas, aguas frescas all ranging in the less than $5 category. The staff member was multitalented, ringing me up and then preparing my order and bringing it out to me!
I didn't get to try the other items in the menu such as coffee and boba but came for what is in its name!
The taco meats are trompo, chicken, steak, fajita and barbacoa. They range from $1.50/t to $2.35/for barbacoa.
Both the steak and fajita were tender and satisfying! The chicken however was tender, but very bland. The sides of rice and beans were also a bit up in the air; the rice was EXCELLENT but the beans watery. The one saving grace for the beans is that they're generous with the strips of meat in it to flavor it! They had good corn tortillas, that weren't dry or chalky! The horchata surprisingly just didn't quite hit the mark, it tasted more like potpourri than canela :( it was good just not what I'm used to. My total for the 3 tacos, rice, beans and horchata was about $11.
Overall accessibility (right off Greenville, parking) and efficency of service were excellent! I will definitely return to try quesadillas!
